Engineering:Drawdown card
From HandWiki
Short description: Tool for assessing opacity and contrast ratio of coatings
Drawdown cards are used for testing paints and coatings through wet film preparation.
Black and white cards are used to measure both opacity and contrast ratio. By measuring reflectance values of both parts of the card one can gain a quantitative opacity value of a paint sample.
